(Daidouji Estate- Roof)
//We've been discovered! Get out now!// That was the warning which repeated over and over again in Syaoran's head.
But how? Syaoran was deeply engaged in battle.
Sakura was using her spiked boots again, and one wrong move would mean his death.
Syaoran's eyes shifted to the swaying ponytail and the light-pink ribbon which held it in place that belonged to his foe. A devious plan formed in his mind.
Time to end this fight!
Syaoran did a somersault over Sakura and yanked her hair, hard.
"Ow!" Sakura screamed.
Syaoran pushed down the impluse to cover his ears and quickly untied the ribbon in her hair. He let go, momentarily blinding her.
With that, Syaoran tried to sprint away.
"Come back here." Sakura ran after him and grabbed the leather chord around his neck
Syaoran choked. Man, this girl is really trying to kill me! First boots with spikes, now this!
Luckily for him, the chord snapped, causing Sakura to stumble backwards.
Syaoran took his chance and threw a smoke bomb. Smoke exploded everywhere and clouded Sakura's vision. Smoke started to enter Sakura's lungs, causing her to cough and splutter.
When the smoke cleared, Syaoran was no where to be seen. Sakura scanned the whole area carefully, but failed to find him.
Grrr... That was my favourite ribbon! Sakura thought angrily, she stomped angrily on the ground.
In her anger, she spotted something gleaming under the moonlight. Picking it up, she examined it carefully, realisation dawned her as she clicked to her what it was.
Ha! At least I got my revenge... It was the fang pendant.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
//We've got to go!// Shingo's voice pounded into Kou's head, causing it to throb.
But how? Kou was fiercely engaged in the fight with Jadeite.
Kou tried to kick or punch her away to get him some space to run, but Jadeite only inched closer.
Suddenly, he spotted Shingo and Meilin jump out of the window and flee. Jadeite saw them too. Her head spun. She froze, allowing Kou to land a kick at her side.
Jadeite flew and landed, skidding. clutching her side in pain. Still, she ignored the pain and got up, her eyes still fixed on the two fleeing figures. She started to run towards them.
Kou's eyes widened upon enlightenment, Shit! She thinks that Shingo and Meilin have Tomoyo!
Kou chased after Jadeite and grabbed her ankle just as she tried to leap up from the ground. and into the trees. Jadeite mouthed a silent cry as she felt herself fall back to earth.
Jadeite used her free leg to kick off Kou's hand. Reaching beneath her jacket, she pulled out a knife and threw it Kou.
Expecting her to use that move, Kou dodged and grabbed the handle. Jadeite reacted quickly and charged towards Kou, trying to get the knife back.
A fierce struggle ensured. As Jadeite wildly punched and swiped, she accidently knocked off Kou's glasses. Time froze. Shaded eyes started into icy blue. Jadeite found herself quite unable to move as she sank deeper and deeper into those hypnotising blue eyes. She mistakenly let go and let her hand fall to her side. Kou was surprised. This wasn't what a agent would usually do. But, he took his chance, netherless, and fled.
Jadeite stood motionless as Kou ran away. Her eyes glossy even as Kou disappeared into the trees. All that filled her mind was those piercing blue eyes.
"Jadeite!" Sakura's voice made her snap out of her trance.
"What?" Jadeite instantly turned around on reflex.
"They got away." Sakura panted.
"Oh shit! Tomoyo!" Jadeite ran back to the room, with Sakura hot at her heels.

(Daidouji Estate- Tomoyo's room)
Jadeite ran towards the closet to find it wide opened, unlocked. Tomoyo was nowhere to be seen.
"Tomoyo..." Sakura whispered.
"Who are you two?" a voice made them snap and turn around.
What they saw was a fairly pretty middle-aged woman with short brown hair. Her violet eyes reflected slight fear. Besides her was a man of about the same age. His serious black eyes reflected authority. His hair was slightly mused up, as was his clothing, consisting of a western suit and a blue tie.
"We should be the one to ask you." Jadeite raised an eyebrow.
"This is my house. You are tresspassing my territory." the man said, his voice was strong and mature.
"Your house?" Sakura asked quizzically.
"Yah!" a roar of anger caused everyone to jerk to attention.
A sliver streak slashed down at Jadeite, who aptly ducked and knocked the dagger out of the hand holding it.
"Tomoyo?" Jadeite blinked at the amethyst haired girl who had attacked her.
"Jadeite?" Tomoyo asked equally confused.
"Tomoyo, why did you attack us?" Sakura asked.
"Sakura? Jadeite? Ah, why are your voices different?" Tomoyo inquired.
"Oh! I forgot." Jadeite reached into her mouth and pulled out the strange looking gum that had change their voices.
"Sorry. We put on the voice changing devices." Sakura apologised, sounding like herself again, literally.
"Oh! Okay." Tomoyo giggled.
"And where did you come from, the closet was empty?" Jadeite questioned.
"Well, you see, two assassin unlocked the closet and I hid in this secret compartment behind the backing of my closet." Tomoyo demonstrated to them by pressing a hidden button, the backing slid open to reveal the compartment.
"Oh, I see. That was clever." Jadeite smiled.
"Tomoyo, who are these two?" a voice cut in.
"Oh! Otou-san*! These are the two agents from Fantasy in Reality that you hired." Tomoyo explained.
"So, you are Chief Daidouji." Jadeite bowed, "Sorry for my ignorance earlier on. I had thought that Tomoyo had been kidnapped by the agents."
"It's okay. Please, just call me Haru." Chief Daidouji smiled.
"No, we're not used to calling our clients by their first names, Daidouji-san*" Sakura explained.
"Then, it's alright." Chief Daidouji, or Haru heard a fit of coughing behind him, "Oh, yes. This is my wife, Sonomi Daidouji."
"Please to meet you. My, you two are the most beautiful things I have ever seen, besides my little Tomoyo." Sonomi grinned.
Sakura blused a bright pink while Jadeite bowed and said, "You flatter us Sonomi-san."
"Well, at least tell me your names." Sonomi smiled.
"I'm Jadeite Reed Xing Yu and my friend here is Sakura Kinomoto." Jadeite and Sakura bowed again.
"Good girls. Well, it's getting late. Why don't you two run off to sleep. Tomoyo will sleep in the guest room besides yours for the time being." Sonomi told them.
"Thank you Sonomi-san. Good night." Jadeite and Sakura dismissed themselves.
"Good night Otou-san, Okaa-san*" Tomoyo left the room after them.
"Good manners. They certainly have been well brought up." Sonomi nodded, satisfacted.
Then why do I have the feeling that there's more to them then meets the eye? Haru Daidouji mused as he started to walk out of the room.
